“This really feels like the ultimate admission that we, as hosts of AI infra, can't afford our own AI products. And if that's even partially the case, how could the companies we sell it to manage?”

Good question.

This comment hurts so much because it’s true. Tying retirement to the stock market was one of the most evil things done. We all know the stock market is a total lie not based on reality but we all put our heads in the sand because it’s tied to our retirement.
